Beast Families: I Have an Illustrated Book of All Souls

Chapter 1598 Dharma Image? A Plot of Intrigue (Two chapters combined, please vote and subscribe)

The crimson sunset hung in the far west, casting its light, which also made the entire Tianmu Ling Mountain appear somewhat red.

The boundary between Yin and Yang still flows in the high sky.

The oppressive atmosphere grew even more oppressive, and beneath the two formations, countless other battle formations were already taking shape.

Thousands of Golden Core cultivators were shrouded in the battle formation, all with solemn expressions. They sometimes looked into the distance, and sometimes looked up at the sky.

On that black and white spiritual line, a group of more than ten figures had already landed high in the sky.

An old man wearing a withered yellow robe and Mu Huayuan, the patriarch of the Mu family, wearing a beast-patterned robe, stood side by side.

Behind the two, Qing Jue Nu Jue and Mu Minghe, along with the four Xuan Gu Lions, were all present, along with several unfamiliar figures.

"How are your injuries? If not, don't push yourself. Otherwise, if you die, I won't be lenient with your Mu family." The old man in the unicorn robe was none other than the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor of Tianjue Valley, whose true form was a Gluttonous Beast.

After saying this, he looked at Mu Minghe, then at the Four Mysterious Ancient Lions in the distance, and couldn't help but lick his lips.

His cultivation technique is related to devouring, and it is a great tonic for sixth-order demon saints and Nascent Soul cultivators.

Mu Huayuan, dressed in a beast-patterned robe, did not answer, but instead looked at the group of people in the distance, then transmitted his voice to the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor:

"Guess which of those three is the real Ye family member?"

The Gluttonous Demon Ancestor snorted coldly, not wanting to pay attention to Mu Huayuan, and after a while asked:

"Did you really obtain the Ye family's treasure at Jin Guang Temple?"

Now that so much time has passed since the Ye family incident, the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor has no doubt that the treasure has fallen into the hands of other forces.

In the spirit world, there are no families that last forever; in the mortal world, in his view, there are even fewer.

Moreover, the fact that the Ye family, the Heavenly Beast Sect, and the Flying Zombie Sect are now jointly attacking the Mu family makes it even more suspicious.

"If Jin Guang Temple possesses that treasure, wouldn't it have some means of controlling beasts?" Mu Huayuan countered.

Then, before the latter could speak:
"If you can kill them this time, you can choose any treasure you want. If you only manage to repel them, then you can have a Yuan Shen Pill or a Thousand Longevity Pill."

Upon hearing about the Yuan Shen Pill and the Thousand Longevity Pill, the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor finally beamed with joy.

"Don't worry!" The Gluttonous Demon Ancestor nodded directly.

"Everyone, they're here. My ancestor, Mu, kept his word. If you all help me withstand this attack, I will share with you treasures and secret techniques to avoid the risks of smuggling!" Mu Huayuan transmitted his voice this time.

As this voice transmission appeared, the Nine-Headed Demon Saint and the Purple Flood Dragon Demon Saint immediately hardened their gazes.

Also steadfast were Qiushan Divine Lord and Huofeng Divine Lord of the Taiyuan Realm.

Their reason for protecting the Mu family was also for the purpose of smuggling.

They now know that the Mu family came from the spirit world.

They were also very eager for the smuggling methods mentioned by the Mu family.

Only the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor scoffed at these words.

"Old Monster Mu, is this all the skill you have left?"

Mu Huayuan still did not respond to the words of the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor.

He simply activated the array flags in his hand, concealing the surrounding spiritual light.

At this moment, it seemed as if the great formation had been withdrawn.

However, the fact that the spiritual veins and stones on Mount Ling were being continuously drained proved that the great formation had been activated to its strongest state!
"Fellow Daoist Qiushan, Fellow Daoist Huofeng, are you really going to take action for the Mu family?" Ye Jingcheng's voice came from afar.

His words were indifferent, and Yu Linlong, Tian Nie, and Qing Qiu all landed around him.

Only the Crimson Flame Fox was kept in his cave, just in case.

Accompanying him were Divine Lord Miaoyuan, Divine Lord Feishi, and Divine Lord Yunsha, who had just arrived.

As for the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators, they gathered in another group.

Although they had already learned about the power of the formation from the Flying Corpse God, they still felt it would be better to split into two groups.

If they're close enough, they might end up on the same side of the formation.

"Gentlemen, there's no need to hold back!" Ye Jingcheng spoke first.

He also took out the Spirit Treasure Holy Spirit Tower and blasted it towards the distant Tianmu City.

The others also activated their magical treasures and artifacts. In an instant, nearly twenty magical treasures, magical artifacts, and secret techniques of demonic beasts stirred up terrifying spiritual light in front of the formation.

This caused spatial rifts to appear directly in the void.

Upon seeing these spatial rifts, Ye Jingcheng's brows relaxed slightly, unnoticed by anyone.

These magical treasures and spiritual artifacts, however, radiated terrifying divine power, almost draining the surrounding spiritual energy.

But as it landed in front of Tianmu City, a huge figure in a beast-patterned robe appeared in the sky.

If you look closely, you can see that the figure is none other than Mu Huayuan, the patriarch of the Mu family. With one hand, he pushed out with an overwhelming force, causing all the spiritual treasures and magical artifacts to crumble and be defeated.

The enormous spirit figure stood high in the sky, like a god.

"This is a Dharma form!" At that moment, both Flying Corpse God and Wonderful Origin God were extremely surprised.

Nascent Soul cultivators can unleash supernatural powers, Deity Transformation cultivators can condense divine domains, while for Void Refinement cultivators, the most important thing is their Dharma Form.

How could they not be surprised when the Dharma form appeared at this moment?

However, they also knew that in the mortal realm, anyone with the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage would immediately ascend to immortality, and the Mu family patriarch would definitely not exceed the late Nascent Soul stage.

However, this appearance left them somewhat at a loss.

"This is just the blessing of the Divine Realm Heavenly Palace and the array!" Ye Jingcheng activated his eyes, and the Star Illusion Eyes were able to clearly see that this was not a Dharma Form, but a display of a divine power under the Heavenly Palace.

If it were truly a Dharma form, then it wouldn't be about wiping out the attacks of the cultivators, but rather about sweeping them away completely.

They would not have gathered the demon saints and deities of the Taiyuan Realm, nor would they have invited the deities of the Tianjue Valley to come.

“His control over his divine domain is very strong, but his weakness is that his coverage is very small!” Ye Jingcheng continued.

"Your judgment is excellent, so I'll kill you first!" The Mu family patriarch was unusually indifferent to Ye Jingcheng's words, as if everything was under his control.

As the opponent pushed with their palm, sure enough, a spiritual line appeared in the void, revealing the reappearance of the Transformation of One and Two Arrays.

However, the extent of the coverage caused all the Nascent Soul cultivators to turn pale.

They had made preparations beforehand and deliberately kept a great distance apart.

But now, they are already inside the Transformation Formation.

As the black and white light spun throughout the world, a sense of dizziness flashed through everyone's minds, as if they had crossed a boundary gate.

When they looked again, they found that the cultivators had been divided into two groups.

Ye Jingcheng originally thought he would be treated alone by the Mu family patriarch, so he had prepared the Crimson Flame Fox, Kamaro, and a sixth-order corpse puppet.

However, the scene before him was completely different from what he had imagined.

In the dark world, only Miaoyuan Divine Lord, Zhengyuan Divine Lord, Ziyang Divine Lord, Gumeng Divine Lord, and Baiqiao Divine Lord remained.

In addition to his Jade Dragon and Heavenly Nirvana Green Hill.

As for the remaining four great demon saints—the Heaven-Breaking God, the Vast and Righteous God, the Kongming Demon Saint, the Cloud Sand God, and even the remaining three Nascent Soul cultivators—they all disappeared without a trace.

If things go as expected, those Nascent Soul cultivators are probably in another White Separation Space. Even with the sound transmission talisman and special spirit jade, Ye Jingcheng is completely unable to obtain any information.

This caused his and Miaoyuan Divine Lord's expressions to change drastically.

The other party did not target any specific individual, but rather differentiated based on the degree of hatred towards the Mu family.

The most irreconcilable differences are between the Ye family's Heavenly Beast Sect and the Golden Light Temple's Hundred Skill Valley.

As for the Righteous Path Sect and the Purple Sun Sect, it's simply because they have an extremely good relationship with the Ye family.

As for the rest, most of them were after the treasure, not actually trying to destroy the Mu family.

Even the four great demon saints, including the Kongming Demon Saint, were actually there with the intention of taking advantage of others.

The most likely candidate to be the Flying Corpse God is from the Flying Cloud Realm of the Eleven Mystic Realms, and it's highly unlikely that he would actually risk his life.

Furthermore, with the two sides separated and unable to see each other, Ye Jingcheng and the others had no idea whether the other side had contributed or how much.

After all, the Ye family hadn't set any rules for distributing the treasures before they arrived.

This is clearly Mu Huayuan's open scheme.

At the same time, Mu Huayuan's divine domain avatar also disappeared. If nothing unexpected happened, the other party would use that divine domain avatar to hold off those people.

The next moment, as expected, Mu Minghe of the Mu family, the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor of Tianjue Valley, Qingjue Divine Lord, Nujue Divine Lord, and the Nine-Headed Demon Saint, Zijiao Demon Saint, Huofeng Divine Lord, all appeared in the Black Separation Space.

Even in the distant city of Tianmu, a battle formation of several thousand people appeared.

Within this battle formation, at the head were thirty Nascent Soul cultivators, plus three hundred Golden Core cultivators and six hundred Purple Mansion cultivators.

Together they activated their cultivation techniques and relied on Mount Ling, and their combat power was somewhat similar to the Ye family's Heavenly Origin Vajra Battle Formation.

In this way, the Mu family displayed eleven Nascent Soul cultivators, including the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor, a mid-stage sixth-order demon saint.

It should be noted that after being dispersed, Ye Jingcheng's side, excluding the Crimson Flame Fox and Kamaro, only had nine Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Gluttonous Demon Ancestor went straight for Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng also took out the Mountain-Opening Seal, a spiritual treasure. Under the treasure, his and Tian Nie Feng Sheng's Heavenly Palace instantly appeared around them.

With the blessing of the Heavenly Palace, five illusory figures of true spirits appeared in the Divine Realm, seemingly ready to clash with the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor.

Although the opponent was a mid-stage sixth-order demon saint, Ye Jingcheng now possessed mid-stage sixth-order divine sense, as well as the superior-grade spiritual treasure, the Heaven-Seizing Demon Dragon Pillar, and even the Crimson Flame Fox and Kamaro waiting within the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

If it really came down to a fight, he might not necessarily lose by much.

As for the exposure of Kamarupa.

He had already made preparations long before coming to the Mu family.

Kamaru is a three-headed ancient demon, which is difficult to conceal, but it can be described as the demonic spirit of the Tongtian Lingbao.

Even if someone suspects something, they can't say anything without evidence.

Before Ye Jingcheng could make a move, the Divine Lord Miaoyuan had already landed in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, you find a way to break the formation. As for this Gluttonous Demon, I'll have a go at it. Our Heavenly Beast Sect is just missing a mid-stage sixth-tier sect-guarding spirit beast!" At this moment, even though Divine Lord Miaoyuan was at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, he still managed to say something.

But just now, he suddenly sensed that there was a special aura emanating from this Divine Lord Miaoyuan.

This aura is somewhat similar to the method of summoning spirits.

It's just that it doesn't amplify the physical body of the Divine Lord Miaoyuan.

Instead, it strengthened her soul, causing it to transform into a mid-stage sixth-order soul in that instant.

He has surpassed Ye Jingcheng and is poised to reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

This immediately piqued Ye Jingcheng's curiosity.

Since the Divine Lord Miaoyuan could do this, he must have a demon saint with an extremely powerful divine soul, but he just hasn't revealed it yet.

Suddenly, a flute appeared in the hand of the Divine Lord Miaoyuan. As soon as he played the flute, the expressions of the Nine-Headed Demon Saint and the Purple Dragon Demon Saint changed drastically.

In that instant, they felt as if they were being controlled.

But clearly, the target of the Divine Lord Miaoyuan was not them, but the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor.

At this moment, the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor also transformed into his true form.

A colossal, hundreds-of-zhang-tall gluttonous demon saint appeared in the air.

The giant mouth let out a terrifying roar, which actually shattered the sound of Miaoyuan Divine Lord's flute.

Anger flashed in his eyes.

It is said that the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor has been a saint and ancestor for so many years, and no one has ever dared to look directly at it. Yet today, someone actually wants to control it.

"This old ancestor will devour you!" the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor roared, and its figure rushed out with incredible speed, arriving beside the Divine Lord Miaoyuan in an instant.

As the claw light struck down, all the other Nascent Soul cultivators held their breath for Divine Lord Miaoyuan.

Because none of them knew how the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor had gotten to them.

Even Ye Jingcheng subconsciously activated the Ten Directions Inkstone, intending to save Miaoyuan Divine Lord.

But they discovered that the shadow was just an avatar, and the Divine Lord Miaoyuan reappeared in the sky, the flute in his hand having somehow transformed into a whip.

With a flick of its wrist, it traversed the void and struck the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor, causing the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor to roar repeatedly, and finally even entangled itself around it.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I can't hold on much longer!" The voice of Divine Lord Miaoyuan echoed in Ye Jingcheng's mind.

Clearly, the Gluttonous Demon Ancestor, who is at the mid-stage of the sixth rank, is not so easy to deal with.

Meanwhile, a group of Nascent Soul cultivators were also engaged in battle on the sidelines.

Yu Linlong continued to face off against the Purple Flood Dragon Demon Saint.

For the Jiaolong clan, Yu Linlong's first action is always to lick his lips, causing his saliva to fall all over the ground.

In particular, this Purple Flood Dragon Demon Saint is a poisonous spirit dragon, which is not much different from the water attribute.

It was transformed from the Purple Yuan Poisonous Python after its breakthrough.

The terrifying purple miasma, originally a highly poisonous spiritual mist that could poison anything, had little effect on the Jade Dragon. In the end, with the cold air exhaled by the Frost Heaven Pearl, combined with the Profound Cold Divine Domain, it directly froze the void around the purple dragon.

"You have the bloodline of a true dragon?" The Purple Flood Dragon Demon Saint stared intently at the Jade Dragon.

His eyes held both fear and a hint of greed.

Reaching the sixth rank is largely a matter of luck; advancing further is very difficult.

But now, seeing the Jade Dragon, a flame ignited in its heart.

But it knew that killing the Jade Dragon would be just as difficult.

But as soon as they clashed, its expression turned extremely grim, as its opponent's strength far exceeded its expectations!

Moreover, the opponent showed no regard for his injuries or lifespan, and his ferocious appearance caused the Purple Dragon Demon Saint to cry out in agony.

In the blink of an eye, a lot of the dragon scales fell off!

The dragon's blood also spilled all over the ground.

"You're ruining your own future!" the Purple Dragon Demon Saint cursed.

But Yu Linlong didn't care. All it knew was that the purple dragon's blood was fragrant, its scales were fragrant, and its enormous dragon head was even more fragrant!
